Compare hospitals → What is skin ulcers?
Open sores on the skin, such as pressure ulcers (bedsores), that need inpatient treatment. Care usually involves cleaning and dressing the wounds, antibiotics if infected, and steps to relieve pressure so the skin can heal.
Skin Ulcers is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 593 (with complications), classified within the Skin diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
